People & Area thread stickys (ADMIN)
 

How about admin make stickys for threads with regards to the members & which county they are located in.

I've noticed that there's not many meets arranged and without going directly into each thread and seeing who's from where & what they are driving etc I haven't got a clue who's from where and what car they've got, what mods they've got etc.. It's a great sense of local community

So how about doing something like...

Scotland Area Members
North East Members
Cumbria Members
North West Members
Yorkshire Members
Wales Members
Midlands Members
South East Members
South West Members
N. Ireland
R.O.I

All members from their perspective county can post in their own individual county, Within each county a sticky can be made by admin of who's who, what car they drive, a list of mods, what they can do with regards to helping out other local members etc & arrange the local meets within each area, and if they want they can invite the surrounding counties.

VOC Admin will need to approve area reps within each area to maintain each local area, clean up the threads, delete the old stuff etc etc.

I've seen it on a couple of other car owners clubs I've been a member off and it works very well.

Just a though

Be nice to have Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland on the list too

How's that :star:

It's a great thing to have separate areas for each individual counties. It works very well rather than have the whole country inc R.O.I & N.I all posting in the one section

Admin just need to set it up & arrange the necessary privileges to the appointed area reps.

I know some areas are much bigger than others so those areas have 2 reps, or maybe even 3. One in the North, One in the South & one doing the middle of the county.. Like Yorkshire for example. It's massive

Ireland being the same..

That's wasn't a dig at your btw, I just meant in general, the drop down menu only has Ireland currently.

Seems a good idea to me

I know it wasn't mate. I just edited the opening thread.

I agree with you that Ireland in general should be split in the N.I & the R.O.I.

Other car clubs i've been a full member off have had the same and this works. Just hope admin can sort something out as it'll make the areas much better than what I currently see with it being all over the place.

We sticky posts in the main "Events" section, if the local areas make a post about what they have coming up. Not many people use this section - as can be shown by the most recent threads being September, and Feb.

VOC Events all go in the calendar, as do regional area meets - if the Club are informed of them.

The Events area is due a complete overhaul in the next few months anyway, we are aware its not being used to its full potential currently.

Is there an NI rep does anyone know?

People always forget about us Irish ;)

I think this is a great idea really, then I could post events or things I feel I am attending to other volvoites in the related area. :thumbs_up:
